Epson RAW software

[mobilexile]

I bought my R-D1s from Matsuiyastore and thus the installer CD for the Epson RAW software is in Japanese. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese. Anyone know of a place where it can be downloaded? I checked Rich Cutler's site but didn't find a working link.

Thanks.

Hi mobilexile,

look here:

Good luck with the camera. I like it very much!
And the store is also cool in my mind.

Thank you, sem, much appreciated.

Let us know how you like Epson Raw. I tried Capture ONe, Bibble, Lightroom but each time I went back to Epson Raw. The interface is of another age, but the conversion of the RD1 raw files is the best I have found, especially for B&W

I also agree that the Epson RAW converter is pretty good for my B&W images.

To be honest I didn't think Epson RAW would be worth my time. I'm a big Lightroom / Photoshop user so it seemed redundant. Now, having processed just a few test images, I'm a convert. I look forward to putting it through the paces. Combining Epson RAW, Lightroom and Photoshop could make for a nice mix.

So far I'm not crazy about how it handles color -- too limiting. Perhaps it's because I'm used to the other tools at my disposal. Again, a combination of apps looks like a great option.

One other note ... I'm seeing hot pixels in Epson RAW that do not appear in Lightroom or Photoshop. Anyone else see this?

 

[yanidel]

Yes, lightroom corrects automatically hot pixels when loading the picture. Epson Raw doesn't. But they usually only appear at ISO 1600 (and 800 every once in a while).
My workflow is Epson Raw than Lightroom for hot pixels, cropping and dust correction. The other slider I usually don't touch to keep the Epson Raw look.

+1 epson RAW converter. i keep things simple in conversion and then finish in PS. the files don't need much post-processing, imho.

The file on the epson web site is for mac, does somebodu know where I can find it for windows ?

The link on Rich Cutlers homepage for the Windows version of the Epson Raw-Software works. I just checked it: http://www.richcutler.co.uk/r-d1/r-d1_links.htm

BTW: I did not find a single link there, that does not work.

Any comment on Photolier? A later version of Photoraw.

I am happy to report that Apple now supports the Epson R-D1 in iPhoto and Aperture 2 and can thumbnail the RAW files in the Finder.
